- ^Additional Exercises - Substitute Words\
-
- Try applying the Substitute Word and Link systems to the complete list of 45
- English counties, in order of size. You have already memorised the first
- twelve, so start by associating the thirteenth largest county - %Shropshire\
- to the twelfth largest - $Cornwall\.
-
- If you find this too large a task to handle in one go, memorise say ten or
- twelve at a time. When you have accomplished this task, and can call out
- the complete list both forwards and backwards, you will be amazed at
- your new 'powers' of memory.
-
- Also, when you have memorised the list, you might like to reflect on how
- difficult it would be to memorise a list of 45 abstract names >without\
- using the systems. Most people would find this extremely taxing, if not
- completely impossible.
